28 hours and 55 minutes
That’s how long it took my team to walk the 100km of the Oxfam Trailwalker this weekend.
We set out from Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield in Hampshire at 8am on Saturday night and walked along the South Downs Way for a day and a night and arrived at Brighton race course just before 1pm on Sunday.
A big thank you to both of the those (cheers Lyle!) people who sponsored me - one of the things that kept me going in the lull before dawn was not wanting to have to explain to you why I couldn’t finish. If you want the gory (but remarkably blister free) details, I’m sure I’ll feel like writing them up when the memories start to blur at the edges.
If I never see a pot of Vaseline again, it will be too soon!

Congrats on the finishing… You’re still a loon though.

Oh yeah, and I did add to your sponsorship, so it’s not all in vain…

Well done, just catching up on posts now. The twitter was a great idea. How are your feet now?

Feet are fine now, thank god. Seems other people had more trouble. Mine just hurt but no blisters or sprains or suchlike.
